Chris Paddack Set to Start Against Former Team
The Tigers will send Chris Paddack to the mound, who brings a 4-9 record and 4.77 ERA into the start. It’s been an up-and-down year for the right-hander, but facing his former club could give him a little extra juice. On the flip side, the Twins are giving the ball to Zebby Matthews, who’s 2-3 with a 5.67 ERA. Matthews will be looking for a clean slate after getting knocked around in his last outing.

Key Takeaways
- Detroit is 5-2 in its last seven games, riding the wave of strong starting pitching and timely hits.
- Minnesota traded away talent at the deadline, signaling a step back even as the season continues.
- Paddack’s familiarity with the Twins’ lineup could be a deciding factor.
The Tigers are in a position they haven’t been in for a while, contending deep into summer. A win tonight keeps them right in the thick of the playoff chase and continues to build the case that this team is for real.
